Abstract

The aim of this research is to evaluate the performance resulting from the training of a sample composed by 400 military students. A cross-sectional study and a linear regression analysis, aimed at determining if certain variables could predict the students’ performance, were performed. It can be concluded that responsibility, strong will, and a reflexive-motivational cultural intelligence can predict optimal performance. On the other hand, a laissez-faire leadership style indicates a negative performance while the cognitive cultural intelligence is a prospective predictor in group leadership and in supervised sub-training.
